Custom Grind Cam

Where is the best place to get a custom cam made that can tell me what would work best with my setup?

Re: Custom Grind Cam

What is your set up? This is not that tough, pick your lobes from these charts.

Stock heads? LMAO I am not going to go to the site, but I bet you are referring to quickshotkimber or some thing like that. His heads are no where near stock. They may be stock CASTINGS, but they are ported.

I am not in agreement with you on this one. Sure, you can pick a couple of lobes and the car will run. That's not the same thing as a cam specced out to optimize your combo.

What is his combo? We can easily point him in the right direction if he decides to tell us his plans for the car.

I agree, best cam company out there. If not sure, choose proven combos.

Re: Custom Grind Cam

ported stock castings flowing 267/197 @.600,stock bottom end, 1.6rr,jet hot headers,etc. I am already running a 306 and am thinking there is more to be gained over the off the shelf cam.
